Meat and Bones: The Website Liveth!!!

It Lives

     Okay Ladies and Gents, this week we finally have some real meat to the website. What had been accomplished for last week was piddly compared to the collection of hard work that is now hosted on the class web page. Every student now has an entry on the webpage for themselves and the work that they have accomplished, complete with backgrounds, introductions, histories methods discussions and results where applicable. Some students have their web maps embedded on the site. Others, video. Some students have links to their work because that's just how Google earth works and my programming skills, I regret to admit, are too basic to embed Google earth on our site.

All that's left for this pig is the lipstick. Next week's goals: add images. The site is in desperate need of more eye candy, which with the trove of pictures collected from the trip itself and the plethora of free historical imagery available online should be easy to accomplish. Some standardization will need to occur across the student pages for consistency, some Backgrounds will need to be combined with introductions and such so that the basic formatting of each page is solid across the student section of the site.
